St. James' Church Review

Begun in 1822, the colonial Georgian-style St. James' is Sydney's oldest surviving church, and another fine Francis Greenway design. Now lost among the skyscrapers, the church's tall spire once served as a landmark for ships entering the harbor. Plaques commemorating Australian explorers and administrators cover the interior walls. Free guided tours are given weekdays at 2:30 pm. Lunchtime concerts are presented every Wednesday from late February to late December.
